(08/09 13:00:59) Claidi Song: Welcome to the 184th All Guilds Meeting!
(08/09 13:01:00) shokhootahn Augur: Ooh, that’s a delicious idea, Shiloh. Maybe with mushrooms?
(08/09 13:01:04) skyisblu: That’s a great idea – I’ll look up some ideas, ShilohOBrien 🙂
(08/09 13:01:05) ShilohOBrien: Yep!
(08/09 13:01:21) Claidi Song: By the D’ni calendar, today is Leetar 1 9681 DE.
(08/09 13:01:32) Claidi Song: If you are new to the Cavern or returning after being away for some time: Welcome! You have arrived at an exciting time in MOULa!
(08/09 13:01:51) Claidi Song: All Guilds Meeting (AGM) meets from 13:00 KI – 13:55 KI on the first Saturday of each month.
(08/09 13:01:58) ShilohOBrien: Cavern foodies unite!!!
(08/09 13:02:03) Claidi Song: Times in MOULa are shown in KI Time which corresponds to the Mountain Time Zone.
(08/09 13:02:14) Claidi Song: The next “All Guilds Meeting” will be Saturday, 6th of September 2025 at 13 KIT. See you all, then!
(08/09 13:02:31) RedUhuru: that was short
(08/09 13:02:34) Korov’ev: It was a short meeting
(08/09 13:02:36) PodHopper: so short?
(08/09 13:02:38) thor-ham: lol
(08/09 13:02:40) Calum Traveler: lol
(08/09 13:02:41) Diranda: lol
(08/09 13:02:41) ShilohOBrien blinks
(08/09 13:02:46) Claidi Song: But don’t leave yet lol
(08/09 13:02:50) skyisblu laughs
(08/09 13:02:56) Calum Traveler: i thought i zoned out for a moment
(08/09 13:03:01) rarified: Not until the cookies arrive.
(08/09 13:03:02) Ereshkigal: Copy paste can go wrong, it happens all the time to me
(08/09 13:03:04) Claidi Song: I actually didn’t realize I added that :)))
(08/09 13:03:06) Calum Traveler: did i really miss both name calls Id asked? But no, lol.
(08/09 13:03:07) ShilohOBrien passes around the container of scotch eggs to the newcomers.
(08/09 13:03:17) Claidi Song: ~~~ AGM Rules ~~~
(08/09 13:03:19) Diranda: time skipping
(08/09 13:03:22) Claidi Song: 1. Keep chatter to a minimum while the speakers are talking. Be respectful and let the speaker finish.
(08/09 13:03:39) Claidi Song: 2. Hold all questions until after the speaker asks for questions at the end of their presentation.
(08/09 13:03:56) Claidi Song: 3. Speakers: please indicate when you are ready for questions. And indicate when you’re ready for the next question.
(08/09 13:04:03) Claidi Song: Questions may be directly messaged to me to be added to the questions queue for Q&A after each presenter is done. Keep DM’d questions brief and on the speaker’s topic.
(08/09 13:04:29) rarified: What about the blue button? 😉
(08/09 13:04:31) Claidi Song: 4. If a question requires a long answer, we may need to skip it to stay on track. In that case, please, DM the speaker after they’ve left the platform.
(08/09 13:04:44) ShilohOBrien tosses a scotch egg directly to IwonK.
(08/09 13:04:48) skyisblu: don;t call attention to the blue button, rarified 😉
(08/09 13:05:06) IwonK catches the egg in a sandwich
(08/09 13:05:06) Prad: neither the red button
(08/09 13:05:15) Claidi Song: Korov’ev is going to share the next rule as things are changin around lately.
(08/09 13:05:28) Korov’ev: it’s like the little red button on the ZF-1
(08/09 13:05:34) Buddy: I MUST press the buttons!!!!
(08/09 13:05:51) Korov’ev waves hello
(08/09 13:05:51) Korov’ev: Shorah everyone!
(08/09 13:06:10) Korov’ev: Straight to the point: we lost the Messengers website 🙁
(08/09 13:06:21) rarified is sad
(08/09 13:06:22) shokhootahn Rehn: :-((
(08/09 13:06:25) Korov’ev: I won’t go into the details again, but since the website was owned by Doobes, I wouldn’t count on it coming back anytime soon.
(08/09 13:06:29) ural: :((((
(08/09 13:06:34) Baldric The Dung: 🙁
(08/09 13:06:34) philipgr is very sad
(08/09 13:06:36) ShilohOBrien: I wondered about that.
(08/09 13:06:36) Ereshkigal: Oh no…
(08/09 13:06:37) Calum Traveler: ill have a statement about doobes at the end of the AGM
(08/09 13:06:43) Calum Traveler: so dont ask kor questions about that now.
(08/09 13:06:56) Korov’ev: Right
(08/09 13:07:00) Korov’ev: A discussion could be had on the utility of a news website in a world of social media, but there are a few immediate practical issues I’d like to address.
(08/09 13:07:09) Korov’ev: I’ll touch on a few points, but to avoid taking too much time from the Meeting, I suggest we keep the discussion for later if it gets too long 😉
(08/09 13:07:22) Korov’ev: 1. Calendar: the actual calendar is based on Google, so the public link is still valid, if a bit cumbersome:
(08/09 13:07:23) Claidi Song: \yes
(08/09 13:07:29) Korov’ev: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?height=600&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&src=guild@guildofmessengers.com&color=%23FFC300&ctz=America/Denver
(08/09 13:07:31) Claidi Song nods her head
(08/09 13:07:38) rarified: :O
(08/09 13:07:40) Korov’ev: Or, if you can trust Bitly, a while ago I made a short URL version: https://bit.ly/GoMe_cal – there are also a few localised versions, just append “_ce“, “_uk“, “_ru” or “_jp“
(08/09 13:07:49) Korov’ev: 2. Chatlogs: I have all the raw and cleansed chatlogs since 2016 (and a few from before that). As a quick and dirty solution I can set up a public Dropbox folder.
(08/09 13:07:53) thor-ham: whoa… where’s my pencil
(08/09 13:08:06) Korov’ev: I’ll slow down 🙂
(08/09 13:08:18) Korov’ev: I’m used to rapid fire copypaste 🙂
(08/09 13:08:26) Korov’ev: But perhaps saving them e.g. in a wiki could be a better option? It would be a bit of work though (9 years x 12 months, plus this year).
(08/09 13:08:27) Swifthawk: type: /startlog
(08/09 13:08:35) Calum Traveler: a wiki might be best, yes
(08/09 13:08:39) Korov’ev: 3. Tutorials: there were a few tutorials about troubleshooting MOULa errors and installing shards on macOS and Linux. I wrote them, so I’m a bit biased about saving them 🙂
(08/09 13:08:42) rarified: I could host a copy of the chatlogs if a simple web page would suffice.
(08/09 13:08:52) Korov’ev: I’ve already started salvaging them to the Writers wiki. I think this is actually an improvement, since once they’re wikified, anyone will be able to update them, not just me.
(08/09 13:09:04) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler
(08/09 13:09:08) Korov’ev: The MacOS and Linux ones especially will need a thorough audit, since I’m a bit behind the latest developments.
(08/09 13:09:21) Korov’ev: 4. Rel.to: admin login depended on the GoMe website, and iirc it already didn’t work with the latest version.
(08/09 13:09:30) Korov’ev: So I’m afraid the Myst-specific URL shortening tool is locked and unchangeable now, if I’m not mistaken.
(08/09 13:09:43) Emor D’ni Lap: guildofmessengers.net is available. Nothing wrong with a .net suffix. I will be happy to reserve it immediately and transfer to whoever wants to resurrect the site.
(08/09 13:09:55) Calum Traveler: i didnt even think about the rel.to side of things, wow.
(08/09 13:10:02) Korov’ev: That’s an option too
(08/09 13:10:04) Korov’ev: A menu in the GoMe website had a shortlist of active Uru-related websites, perhaps a similar shortlist on a wiki page could work?
(08/09 13:10:05) ShilohOBrien raises a hand
(08/09 13:10:18) Korov’ev: Yes, Shiloh?
(08/09 13:10:28) Swifthawk: I can build and host whatever anyone might want.
(08/09 13:10:49) Korov’ev: 5. AGM summaries, new Age announcements, etc.: the meat of the website, and the most uncertain at the moment.
(08/09 13:10:50) ShilohOBrien: What is the difference in utility between having a GoMe wiki vs a dedicated website for it?
(08/09 13:11:20) Korov’ev: The main part of the website was a blog/news website
(08/09 13:11:37) Korov’ev: So a wiki isn’t probably the best model?
(08/09 13:11:43) ShilohOBrien nods
(08/09 13:11:49) Korov’ev: Swifthawk (of UruTunes) has offered space to host a new version.
(08/09 13:12:11) Korov’ev: For e.g. today’s AGM summary, I was thinking about posting in the r/Myst subreddit. At least it’d be accessible without an account.
(08/09 13:12:14) Swifthawk waves like Forest.
(08/09 13:12:19) Calum Traveler: sounds good as a stopgap, kor
(08/09 13:12:24) Korov’ev: The website appears to be saved in the Wayback Machine up to July 18, 2023.
(08/09 13:12:42) Claidi Song: nice
(08/09 13:12:47) caver1: True.
(08/09 13:12:48) Korov’ev: To be fair, in the last year or two activity was down to little more than AGM summaries
(08/09 13:12:58) Christian Walther: I should have archives of everything that was in the RSS feed.
(08/09 13:13:09) Korov’ev: Well, that’s all I have for now
(08/09 13:13:16) Prad: they had two-monthly snapshots of the website on WBM
(08/09 13:13:24) Claidi Song thanks you
(08/09 13:13:24) Claidi Song: Korov’ev
(08/09 13:13:26) Prad: *have*
(08/09 13:13:33) Korov’ev: We’ll this one through too 😉
(08/09 13:13:36) Ereshkigal: Thank you Korovev!
(08/09 13:13:42) Korov’ev: back tomy seat!
(08/09 13:13:52) Claidi Song: As always, you can start your own chatlog by typing: /startlog
(08/09 13:14:02) ural: Saw it gone week or 2 ago
(08/09 13:14:09) Claidi Song: ~~~ CAVCON ~~~
(08/09 13:14:15) Claidi Song: Latest CavCon funding update: As of June 2025, CAVCON is 2.4; Donations covered 40%; Reserve is at 618%
(08/09 13:14:23) Claidi Song: Remember CAVCON donations keep MOULa open.
(08/09 13:14:34) Claidi Song: ~~~ Cooking with Sky ~~~
(08/09 13:14:36) Princess Luna: I have no Idea what is going on?
(08/09 13:14:39) Claidi Song: ~~~ Cooking with Sky ~~~
(08/09 13:15:12) skyisblu: Hi everybody!
(08/09 13:15:13) Princess Luna: How can I help?
(08/09 13:15:23) skyisblu: I just wanted to remind you that every FIRST Monday of the month, I host Cooking Sessions with Sky at 12 KI in the cavern.
(08/09 13:15:46) skyisblu: (which was last Monday 😉 )
(08/09 13:15:55) skyisblu: However, as per my usual schedule, I will be skipping September’s cooking session due to travel. That means you will all have to wait until October for the luscious chocolate cake recipe I have planned! It was inspired by suggestions made during our post-stream discussions(thanks IwonK!).
(08/09 13:15:59) Calum Traveler: (fish tacos, yummy yummy)
(08/09 13:16:06) IwonK blushes
(08/09 13:16:20) ShilohOBrien: And after that, the Shroomie dish?
(08/09 13:16:21) skyisblu: I am always looking for inspiration and new directions in which to take my cooking, so please, if you have anything you would like to see made, let me know!
(08/09 13:16:43) Korov’ev: October will have to be a double dish 🙂
(08/09 13:16:50) skyisblu: (and yes, definitely a “shroomie” dish in the future)
(08/09 13:16:55) Buddy: Iwonk, you need to fill in for her… I need nurishment!
(08/09 13:17:10) skyisblu: For every cooking sessions, we meet in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood, and online for the livestream at https://www.twitch.tv/skyisblu_is_me – remember that the audio commentary is done in both English and French.
(08/09 13:17:26) ShilohOBrien: I have no idea how to stream, or else I’d make you all my beef and bacon pie.
(08/09 13:17:30) skyisblu: If you’ve missed any of the previous Cooking Sessions, all of the recipes and accompanying videos are available on my website, https://cookingsessionswithsky.blogspot.com/
(08/09 13:17:49) skyisblu: Any questions?
(08/09 13:17:51) IwonK: bacon pie… I’m listening 😀
(08/09 13:17:51) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue.
(08/09 13:17:54) ShilohOBrien: Also, the time of the stream is smack dab in the middle of my work day. 🙁
(08/09 13:18:03) skyisblu bows
(08/09 13:18:05) Claidi Song: Thank you, sky!
(08/09 13:18:09) skyisblu: Thanks!
(08/09 13:18:20) Claidi Song: ~~~ D’ni Language Class and Story Night ~~~
(08/09 13:18:27) Claidi Song beckons you
(08/09 13:18:27) Claidi Song: shokhootahn Rehn/r’Taytahn, the stage is yours!
(08/09 13:18:47) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.
(08/09 13:19:02) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
(08/09 13:19:15) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday through Thursday, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule.
(08/09 13:19:42) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student’s schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r’Tayrtahn.
(08/09 13:20:07) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)
(08/09 13:20:15) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.
(08/09 13:20:28) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.
(08/09 13:20:38) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
(08/09 13:21:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some exciting news…
(08/09 13:21:30) shokhootahn Rehn: Another victim… er, student… has finished the 201 lessons!
(08/09 13:21:39) shokhootahn Rehn: Please give a warm round of applause to Augur!
(08/09 13:21:43) shokhootahn Augur bows
(08/09 13:21:44) Thumbs up from Buddy
(08/09 13:21:55) shokhootahn Ana: Yay, Augur!!!
(08/09 13:22:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Also, there is now one more instructor in the Guild of Instructors.
(08/09 13:22:30) shokhootahn Rehn: Augur has decided to continue his studies and be a teacher in he Guild!
(08/09 13:22:37) Ereshkigal: Oh wow!
(08/09 13:22:38) shokhootahn Augur bows
(08/09 13:22:43) *Jodok*: Wow
(08/09 13:22:43) uru348: Affiliation!
(08/09 13:22:44) neurovac: that’s fantastic
(08/09 13:22:48) Dreamer3: Woot woot!
(08/09 13:22:56) shokhootahn Rehn: Since shokhootahn Ana was his instructor for the lessons, she will be mentoring him as he begins to teach his first students. 🙂
(08/09 13:23:06) skyisblu: Congratulations!
(08/09 13:23:07) shokhootahn Ana bows
(08/09 13:23:11) shokhootahn Rehn: Please give a warm round of applause for both of them!
(08/09 13:23:22) Claidi Song: \clap
(08/09 13:23:45) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.
(08/09 13:23:55) Claidi Song: I’m guessing shokhootahn means “teacher”?
(08/09 13:24:07) uru348: So we can expect more shokhootahntee in attendance?
(08/09 13:24:12) shokhootahn Rehn: shokhootahn = instructor 🙂
(08/09 13:24:19) Claidi Song: Ah!
(08/09 13:24:39) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…
(08/09 13:24:50) shokhootahn Rehn: As I’ve said, before, one of my former students, Yutiel, is listed on that imager. I have refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top as a form of memorial. It’s why I haven’t posted pellet points above 168345: it was to keep her name at the top of the list.
(08/09 13:24:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
(08/09 13:25:00) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue.
(08/09 13:25:07) IwonK: what’s the meaning of life?
(08/09 13:25:12) thor-ham: 42
(08/09 13:25:12) shokhootahn Rehn: 421
(08/09 13:25:13) Buddy: 42
(08/09 13:25:14) caver1: 42
(08/09 13:25:18) *Jodok*: 42
(08/09 13:25:18) PodHopper: 😀
(08/09 13:25:21) IwonK: 😀
(08/09 13:25:22) Calum Traveler: 42
(08/09 13:25:22) Buddy: lol
(08/09 13:25:24) Prad: What was the question?
(08/09 13:25:30) shokhootahn Rehn: 42! (schhtoopid Shift key!)
(08/09 13:25:34) Claidi Song: You didn’t find the answer during this last month,IwonK?
(08/09 13:25:46) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
(08/09 13:25:52) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.
(08/09 13:26:03) IwonK: yes, but I lost it in bahro cave
(08/09 13:26:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Tonight, we will continue with the story of young Atrus as told in the novel, Myst: The Book of Atrus. This will be part four of fourteen. Tonight, we will learn about Atrus’ lessons in D’ni writing, lessons in D’ni heritage, and lessons of his father’s true nature.
(08/09 13:26:20) Caeser: Do you mind buddy?
(08/09 13:26:34) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night covers the entire 10,000-year history of the D’ni plus all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni!
(08/09 13:26:55) ShilohOBrien raises a hand again.
(08/09 13:27:12) shokhootahn Rehn: Yes, Shiloh?
(08/09 13:27:31) ShilohOBrien: Are you covering the original MYST books with this pass or the revised ones?
(08/09 13:27:41) shokhootahn Rehn: Original
(08/09 13:27:55) ShilohOBrien: Then will you be doing the revised in the future?
(08/09 13:28:37) shokhootahn Rehn: Possibly. I have a lot of irons in the fire so it will depend on available time.
(08/09 13:28:43) ShilohOBrien: Thank you.
(08/09 13:29:02) ural: How much chsnged?
(08/09 13:29:03) shokhootahn Rehn: !meoor (You’re welcome!)
(08/09 13:29:12) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is “I’m a bot, do not message”. Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.
(08/09 13:29:36) shokhootahn Rehn: The channel is current through March 20, 2021. [Unfortunaterly, surface life this past month has prevented me from making any headway.]
(08/09 13:29:46) shokhootahn Rehn: Like I said, I have a backlog to work through!
(08/09 13:29:58) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Since I don’t speak any of those languages, it will be up to my viewers to tell me how well that is working out. 🙂
(08/09 13:30:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.
(08/09 13:30:17) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.
(08/09 13:30:26) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.
(08/09 13:30:36) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:00 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.
(08/09 13:30:50) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it’s been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂
(08/09 13:30:58) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
(08/09 13:31:18) shokhootahn Rehn: Should I need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂
(08/09 13:31:25) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
(08/09 13:31:36) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

(08/09 13:37:31) IwonK: This time I picked something different 🙂 Due to popular demand, I will make a stream about games from one country. I had made a list of countries some moula players come from and then I let the door in Tsogal chose the order 😀 soooo…
(08/09 13:37:40) IwonK catches the egg in another sandwich

(08/09 13:43:07) Buddy: 42
(08/09 13:43:20) shokhootahn Augur: …”Ready Player One” by Ernest Cline, in our first blowout win!
(08/09 13:43:34) shokhootahn Augur: If you haven’t heard of the novel, you might be familiar with its movie version from 2018. 🙂
(08/09 13:43:44) ural: Saw that movie!!
(08/09 13:43:52) shokhootahn Augur: We will meet in the same time, same place as usual–12:30 KIT, September 13th, in the Eder Delin of Nezetahn’s Hood. While I won’t be able to be there for this meeting, due to surface travel, I am hopeful that folks will still have a great time chatting about Cline’s videogame-centric sci-fi novel!

(08/09 13:44:54) shokhootahn Augur: EVERYONE is welcome at our book club meetings. By no means do you have to read every selection and make it to every meeting to join us. If only once a year something is picked that piques your interest, by all means drop in just for that one meeting!

(08/09 13:46:43) Calum Traveler: No Applause, please.
(08/09 13:46:46) Claidi Song beckons you
(08/09 13:46:46) Claidi Song: Come on up, Cal!
(08/09 13:46:49) Calum Traveler: this is not an applause worthy thing
(08/09 13:46:53) Claidi Song: Because this is a sensitive subject,
(08/09 13:46:59) Claidi Song: PLEASE, No comments, interruptions or questions to either Cal or me.
(08/09 13:47:11) Calum Traveler: if you have questions, PLEASE DM me on discord,
(08/09 13:47:12) *Jodok* boooooes instead of clapping hands
(08/09 13:47:17) Calum Traveler: harleytraveler263
(08/09 13:47:25) ShilohOBrien: Guys, behave.
(08/09 13:47:29) rarified: Please… shhh.
(08/09 13:47:31) Calum Traveler: yes, please, this is serious
(08/09 13:47:34) Calum Traveler: very serious
(08/09 13:47:55) Calum Traveler: last month i gave a brief mention that Doobes was gone, but i avoided talking about it for several critical reasons.
(08/09 13:48:05) Calum Traveler: unfortunately, with the GoMe website down, I now have to make a statement.
(08/09 13:48:16) Calum Traveler: yall have been asking me all week privately and publicly, so… yeah.
(08/09 13:48:21) Calum Traveler brings forth a prepared note card
(08/09 13:48:28) Calum Traveler: here is the official statement i have been approved to give:
(08/09 13:48:48) Calum Traveler: Doobes has gotten himself mixed up in ***SIGNIFICANT LEGAL TROUBLE.***
(08/09 13:49:04) Calum Traveler: We do not know HOW he got involved with what he got involved in
(08/09 13:49:18) Calum Traveler: nor do we know for how LONG he was involved in what he got involved in.
(08/09 13:49:46) Calum Traveler: all we know for sure is what is publicly available info, and that is: That he has landed himself in a *Very* Serious Situation.
(08/09 13:50:04) Calum Traveler: as I said earlier, if you have any questions, please DM me on discord.
(08/09 13:50:14) Calum Traveler: that is the end of the prepared statement,
(08/09 13:50:18) Claidi Song: To clarify the US legal system in such cases:
(08/09 13:50:18) Calum Traveler: ill reiterate this:
(08/09 13:50:26) Claidi Song: Go ahead
(08/09 13:50:29) Calum Traveler: ahhem
(08/09 13:50:41) Calum Traveler: While the US legal system has a presumed Innocent Until Proven Guilty,
(08/09 13:51:11) Calum Traveler: the situation is one serious enough that we have to assume that even in the best case scenario where he has escaped from this scott free, it WILL be haunting him for the rest of his life.
(08/09 13:51:50) Calum Traveler: as ive been told from those that have talked to him, Doobes has no intention of returning to the community, even in that case.
(08/09 13:52:37) Buddy: He will always have friends here!
(08/09 13:52:58) Calum Traveler: im sure yall can start to piece together from the information ive stated previously about why many of Doobes’ projects were suspended, and why ive had to rebuild chiso preniv
(08/09 13:53:14) Caeser: Don’t put out anything that is false, if he got away Scott free, means he is out hot water of it. Dosen’t really make him guilty.
(08/09 13:53:31) Calum Traveler: I am not going to state publicly what he got into
(08/09 13:53:42) Calum Traveler: iam not going to state my own feelings on the matter.
(08/09 13:54:01) Calum Traveler: i am going to REITERATE that we know *very little* except what is already public record.
(08/09 13:54:18) Calum Traveler: this is an ongoing legal matter.
(08/09 13:54:21) Calum Traveler: and a very serious one.
(08/09 13:54:38) Calum Traveler: we do not know anything concrete, and we likely WONT know anything for years
(08/09 13:54:41) ShilohOBrien pulls a bottle of whiskey from her messanger bag, pulls the cork with her teeth, spits the cork across the room, takes a swig and passes the bottle to the closest person.
(08/09 13:54:53) Buddy is sad
(08/09 13:55:22) Calum Traveler: all i will say in closing is that you are welcome to search for the facts of your own accord, or reach out to me in DM, but I will warn you
(08/09 13:55:32) Calum Traveler: it is a HEAVY piece of cursed information, given the unknown facts of the case.
(08/09 13:55:52) shokhootahn Ana: This is such very sad news…
(08/09 13:55:54) rarified: Thank you Calum Traveler for your efforts in handling a delicate situation, as well as
(08/09 13:55:59) neurovac: Calum, thank you for that.
(08/09 13:56:06) rarified: picking up some of the pieces.
(08/09 13:56:11) Ereshkigal: Thank you so much for sharing, Calum! This is really hard on you especially
(08/09 13:56:13) Calum Traveler: do not go searching for this information unless you are *CERTAIN* to 1000% that you can handle taking a pyschological toll of this nature.
(08/09 13:56:20) ShilohOBrien: Thank you, Calum. I can tell this has been torture for you.
(08/09 13:56:22) Buddy: Thanks Calum… I know it was painful for you as well.
(08/09 13:56:28) Calum Traveler: it’s been six months of this.
(08/09 13:56:45) rarified: It is not your burden to bear
(08/09 13:56:49) Claidi Song: This is very hard for Cal!
(08/09 13:56:53) shokhootahn Ana: We appreciate your candor and circumspectus.
(08/09 13:56:58) PodHopper: I’m not wired for legal things, so don’t worry
(08/09 13:57:25) thor-ham: Well said Calum, thank you.
(08/09 13:57:30) ShilohOBrien: If we ever manage to make Mysterium at the same time, your drink bill will be covered by me.
(08/09 13:57:35) Calum Traveler: i understand your thoughts there, rarified, but as ive had to tell some other folks, I *was* looped in under the expectation that I would have the emotional stability to handle this better than those closer to the matter.
(08/09 13:57:47) Calum Traveler: those who told me were hit very hard by this.
(08/09 13:57:53) caver1: Peace be with his family and friends.
(08/09 13:57:54) Claidi Song: hugs Cal, Thank you, Cal!
(08/09 13:58:00) Calum Traveler: and understandably, they didnt want to be bothered with questions.
(08/09 13:58:07) Calum Traveler: so again, if you have any, *DM* me on Discord.
(08/09 13:58:17) Calum Traveler: not in cyan chat
(08/09 13:58:19) shokhootahn Ana: Thank you, Cal. Big hugs to you!
(08/09 13:58:21) Calum Traveler: not in mysterium
(08/09 13:58:23) Calum Traveler: not in OU
(08/09 13:58:27) Calum Traveler: *Over DM*
(08/09 13:58:31) rarified offers respect to Calum Traveler
(08/09 13:58:35) Theo: The ending will never be written….
(08/09 13:58:44) Ereshkigal sends hugs
(08/09 13:58:51) ShilohOBrien: Yeah, folks! Respect Calum, his privacy and his boundries!!!
(08/09 13:58:54) Calum Traveler: ill reiterate, my handle is harleyTraveler263
(08/09 13:59:13) *Jodok* hugs Harley
(08/09 13:59:15) Calum Traveler: theres only one other thing i have to say
(08/09 13:59:20) Calum Traveler: if you know the full details already,
(08/09 13:59:37) Calum Traveler: im sorry that you and everyone else involved have to deal with this.
(08/09 14:00:14) Calum Traveler: i will not be making further public statements on thie nature of this case, and if anyone asks me publicly for updates, i will reiterate “SIGNIFICANT LEGAL TROUBLE”
(08/09 14:00:31) Calum Traveler: this is not me being cagey because i want to cover it up or whatever,
(08/09 14:00:46) Buddy: We understand
(08/09 14:00:49) Calum Traveler: this is because it is a very delicate matter that is very hard to cover openly for various reasons,
(08/09 14:01:08) Calum Traveler: i dont want anyone getting permabanned off discord, for example.
(08/09 14:01:33) ShilohOBrien: So everyone be adults and mind your buisness.
(08/09 14:01:36) Calum Traveler: and also, i do not want to open myself to potential defamation charges should it turn out that evrything worked out for the best.
(08/09 14:01:44) Calum Traveler: yes, Take This Matter Seriously.
(08/09 14:02:06) Calum Traveler: i wish i could have told everyone the truth when it happened, but for various reasons, I knew that was NOT the way to go about it.
(08/09 14:02:14) Calum Traveler: and if you know the full details
(08/09 14:02:16) Emrai: Thank you for handling this so well, Cal.
(08/09 14:02:16) Calum Traveler: you know why.
(08/09 14:02:25) Emor D’ni Lap: enough already, pleae.
(08/09 14:02:28) Calum Traveler: its been a hell of a year
(08/09 14:02:30) Emor D’ni Lap: please
(08/09 14:02:32) Calum Traveler: take care everyone.
(08/09 14:02:34) Calum Traveler: and no applause.
(08/09 14:02:38) Theo: As you have said, this is what you’ve been authorized to say.
(08/09 14:02:45) Claidi Song: Thank you Cal!
(08/09 14:02:46) Ereshkigal: Thank you
(08/09 14:02:49) Claidi Song: Summary of US process: There was an arrest. There has been an indictment passed down by the Georgia Grand Jury. In the US this means there is enough evidence that formal charges MAY be made. A trial MAY then follow. Currently there is no verdict.
(08/09 14:02:49) *Jodok*: Thx
(08/09 14:02:52) PodHopper thanks you very much!
(08/09 14:02:55) Calum Traveler: dont thank me, im just the messenger.

(08/09 14:02:58) Buddy: Thanks you Calum
